the love shack...
when we built the teardrop camper almost 2 years ago, we ran out of time to paint it. i had bought the paint, but unfortunately we never got around to it. now that things are slowing down and we have a trip planned for memorial day weekend to santa cruz in the camper, i was feeling inspired to spruce it up! i found the old paint but didn't like the color. i wanted an "apple green" color, and the paint was looking like a fluorescent highlighter. i took the paint to the hardware store and asked them to re-tint it for me. they can usually do this if the color is in the same shade and you want to go darker. so they added more green and a bit of blue to get the color you see now. i truly had a custom paint color made just for me, and it only cost $4 to re-tint the paint. now we are ready for our trip in a couple of weeks!

ReplyDeleteis it going to stay green?? are you drawing designs on it??

thanks! yes, it will stay green, before it was white (from the primer). i'd like to stencil on the name of a zeppelin song "over the hills and far away", but havent gotten around to it yet. eventually we will sell it and build a new one!
